DUVAL COUNTY, Fla. — A photo of a county line in Florida is going viral.

It's not just any county line, it shows an empty beach where Duval County is and crowds of people on the beach where St. John's County starts.

Duval County closed its beaches to help limit to spread of COVID-19 and promote social distancing. St. John's County where the beaches will not close until 6 a.m. on Sunday.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has not ordered any statewide regulations for the beaches. It has been up to individual counties to decide that happens along their shorelines.

In the Tampa Bay area, Pinellas, Hillsborough, Manatee and Sarasota counties all closed their beaches to the public.
